!María!,
no vuelvas María,
que nada ha quedado
de aquella alegría
que honrado te dí...
!María!,
no vuelvas María,
que solo hallarías
el eco cansado
de un vals para tí...
|
|
Maria!
don't come back, Maria,
for of all that old joy
I once gave you true
not a scrap's left behind...
Maria!
don't come back, Maria,
for the run-down old echo
of a waltz made for you
is all that you'll find...
|
!María!,
no vuelvas María,
trayéndome ingrata,
la mancha escarlata
de tu frenesí...
!María!,
si llega ese día
no se que sería,
María, de mi.
|
|
Maria!
don't come back, Maria,
to bring your mad whims in
and change me to crimson
so ungratefully...
Maria!
if that day should dawn now,
who knows what'll be,
Maria, of me.
|
!María!,
creyéndote mía,
te daba el sincero
cariño primero
que fué mi ilusión,
!no vuelvas!,
que ya no te quiero,
!María!, !María!,
de mi corazón.
|
|
Maria!
believing you mine,
I gave you the first,
sincerest affection
my hopes could impart...
Don't come back!
for no more do I love you,
Maria, Maria,
with all of my heart.
